Abstract

Enzalutamide and Quality of Life in Prostate CancerFreedland et al. present the health-related quality of life outcomes for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer who were randomly assigned to enzalutamide plus leuprolide, enzalutamide monotherapy, or leuprolide alone (EMBARK trial). The key objectives were to determine differences in time to first and confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in pain and time to first and confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in functional status. There were no differences among the key outcomes among all three groups.
